[Killietalk] Feeding frozen bloodworms

[lehmann at jlab_org]

  Hi Fellow Killinuts,

   I have started using Hikari brand frozen
   bloodworms. They are smaller in size and
   are not stiff after beinng thawed.
   I blend BBS in with the bloodworms worms
   and feed this mixture to all of my tanks.

   As a result, I have loads of fry in many
   tanks where either there were none or very
   few before I started to feed this mixture.

   I theorize that the bloodworms provide the
   high protein  and bulk that the parents need
   and the BBS feeds any fry that appear in
   the tank without competing with the adults
   for a food source.

   At any rate I switched to this combo food
   about two months ago. (I did not feed
   Bloodworms to any extent before this time.)
   Since then I have had bunches of fry appear
   in tanks that did not produce any before, inc.
   species such as Rhexipanchax schioetzi.

               Regards,

                 Monty Lehmann
